Chelsea LeVander of Wilton took another step forward in her progression as one of the top gymnasts in the state, finishing second in the all-around at the State Open gymnastics championships Saturday at Pomperaug High School in Southbury.

LeVander, a junior, finished with an impressive total of 36.975 points, getting edged by Katie Freese of Valley Regional.

Freese, who finished second to New Milford’s Ashley O’Connor at the State Open last season, posted a winning score of 37.075 points.

Glastonbury won the team title with 143.975 points followed by Pomperaug (139.250), Woodstock Academy (134.425) and Southington (132.800).

LeVander didn’t win any of the individual events, but was consistent on all four of them. She placed third on the beam with a 9.325, tied for third on the floor with Carla Hernandez of New Milford with a 9.2, finished fourth on the vault with a 9.3 and fifth on the bars with a 9.150.

Freese won only one event, the vault, with a 9.650. She was second on the bars (9.450), 12th on the beam (8.8) and tied for fourth on the floor (9.175).

LeVander earned a slice of redemption after Wilton finished fifth at the Class M state championships two weeks ago. Wilton’s Meghan Graham and Megan Daversa were also competing as individuals at the Open.

LeVander moves on to the New England Championships, which will be held Saturday at Jonathan Law High School in Milford.

Morgan Whitehead of Darien won the State Open title in the bars with a 9.5 and placed fifth in the all-around with 36.475 points. Amanda Scanlon and Lauren McCormick of Glastonbury placed third and fourth, respectively, in the all-around.
